Everytime I look at this picture, I'm thinking "I LOVE HDR".......

Can You understand this???

 

This is another shot from Canterbury Cathedral...

Love HDR and how it brings out the color in leaves

A non-hdr for a change :) so hopefully i didn't disappoint those who loves hdr...just for a day at least :P

 

I actually didn’t realise that this tower structure lights up with blinking lights at night. When I first saw it, I was excited of cos.. oh well, I get excited over everything actually… even when I failed my exams in school many years ago! Heart pumping with excitement to see what ‘nice’ treatment I’ll be getting from my mom back then haha! Anyway this is the first shot I took instantly when I first spotted it along Melbourne yarra river. My theory now is – rather shoot wrongly than not having the chance to shoot at all :P . just in case it decided to go flat on me just like the previous case of the water fountain shot! Damn still can’t forget that! Haha! TGIF! Let’s celebrate with bling bling!!

One of my first HDR, I am still in the beginning ,but I love HDR effect.

I used a little bit of texture to make the photo more yellow. (Texture thanks to Jerry Jones)

 

laptop background made for a friend at work...

 

internet sourced image made into 3 jpgs (-1.5, 0.0, +1.5) run thru CS3 hdr. Three combined layers and topaz effects to finish it off.

HDR image processed from 7 exposures with Photomatix Pro.

This is why I love HDR as it really makes images like this one pop without much effort. The blue lights around the sign really have popped when this was converted into a HDR. This is one of the best situations for this type of photography.

 

If you like this picture please feel free to look at my NY Set for others from NY or my HDR set for all of my HDR shots.

It's been years since I processed an HDR shot. I used to love HDR and every photo I uploaded would be over processed, at the time I thought it looked great but my photo style has changed over the years.

 

This photo has had the full works, HDR then snapseed and then Lightroom.

 

Just a quick change from the London photo's.

The new HQ of MACC (Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission), with a really boring sunset haha.

I was scouting around Putrajaya for a new photography spot then I discovered this spot, sadly sunset was not impressive enough on that day, will definitely go back next time!

 

Labor of love. HDR image of this low slung 1939 Ford classic taken at the Wheels, Wings, and Rotors, show in Los Alamitos, CA. HDR in Photomatix Pro (painterly and tone compressed). Layered in PSE9 to combine the 2 HDR exposure variants. Then layered into a composite with the lawn HDR photo from the Santa Barbara Four Seasons to give an appropriate "Concours Home" for the beauty.

Took molly to Twmbarlem this afternoon , this is the other mountain i live close to and see it everytime i open my back door...something sinister about these fallen trees

  

just got to love HDR when the results you achieve turn out like this

Mono Lake is hard to describe. You have to go there to really wrap your mind around all of it. The scent of the salinity and brine in the water. The colors. The history and peril this location has faced over the decades. It is a high desert gem all of its own. These Tufa formations attract millions of visitors the year round. It is definitely a photographers paradise. It is sad and beautiful all at the same time. These formations stop growing after they have made contact with the atmosphere. All of these were under water at one time. To stand on them. Climb them with hand and foot, is to damage what was once a thriving micro environment untouched. They are beautiful to behold. If you ever head out to Mono Lake, please be careful to respect what nature has created over the millennium. Thanks!

 

To sit along the shoreline is to lose one's self completely.

 

Recent discoveries at this location have revealed life as we hadn't considered: www.nasa.gov/topics/universe/features/astrobiology_toxic_...

 

This is my final post of reworks in this series. The original composition of this was generated using HDR. I've since then been studying alternate post processing methods. Don't get me wrong, I love HDR processing when it is not overcooked. I wanted to see what I could do otherwise. A personal endeavor of mine. Constructive criticism and comments are welcome.

 

Thanks for looking :o)

It just started to rain when I was driving out to the West Cornwall Bridge and I spotted this barn. I believe this is Goshen CT but I am not completely sure because it was a long drive and I went through several towns.

 

This is a 2 exposure HDR. I have shared that I don't love HDRs. I did bring the saturation down on this to try to get it back to the natural colors. I don't get the detail I wish for when I have to bring my f-stop down when there are low light conditions but for the equipment that I work with (Cheap! lol) I guess it will do. ;-)

 

Unfortunately, I do not know the history of this barn. In Connecticut, these historic barns are quickly disappearing when land is purchased and no longer used for agriculture. They fall into complete disrepair and worse they are torn down for new construction. Many are getting saved and preserved through being placed on the national registry of historic barns (I believe it is called.) Hopefully, at some point, I can at least find the circa date of the barn but with this said online even when they are listed, they don't give much information about the history of these barns.

 

If you are interested in any of my work, I just opened a store at the following site where at this time some of my work is available for purchase on the site. If you are interested in something that you see on my site that is not yet on my site, please feel free to contact me. Thanks so much in advance for looking!!

A note to all my friends, I truly do appreciate every one of you guys that are so thoughtful to take the time to visit my page, give truly thoughtful & kind comments, favs, and especially valuable critiques! Thank you so very much! I am sorry I am so behind. I have been working about 14 hours a day at minimum to try to fulfill my promise to hubby to try to explore photography as a career. If anyone says this is a part-time job, don't believe it! It is a lot of work! So I do expect to be very busy if I can make this work! I truly appreciate your understanding. I so love visiting all my friends and I will visit as much as I can but my time will be quite limited going forward. I will be visiting everyone that does comment or fav my shots but I won't be able to go back searching through all photos to find folks that I haven't heard from lately. With that said, I will truly miss the friends I do have that are maybe a bit harder and take more time for me to track down on a usual basis. :)

Man do i ever love HDR !!

I was going to brighten this up a bit but i think it would take away from the loneliness.

What do you think ?

Cream of the Crop

This was actually first set of pictures taken on this Saturday trip. Yes, I must say set as this is another HDR with 6 images. Not the easy one as while shooting and processing I had fight with lens flares – beauty of shooting into the light. Sky was still cloudy and worked out this way. I have used one of the techniques that Trey Ratcliff ( Stuck in Customs ) was talking in a podcast.

www.prophotoshow.net/blog/2009/04/14/pro-photography-podc...

This is not shot podcast , it's over an hour. Photomatix as a premier HDR software has problems with daytime sky. This was really showing where the sum was. I used one of underexposed ( I think -3 ) and dogged the that section of the image from HDR . Please let me know what you think – you critique is always welcomed.

I wish you all great week !

( PS , I could shoot so much more and maybe get descent at it … but the job … that thing that helps getting the toys , take so much time away from playing with them )

 

Below is the image #4 of 6 more less “0” exposure – the reason why I love HDR. It let you look not what you see but what it could be …. much more fun , more creative. Are we photographers or maybe we are visual artists … I don't think that anyone should be force to choose.

  

PLEASE ... Please ... please - View large On Black

 

How can I play anything else ...

Trees by Joyce Kilmer (1886-1918 / New Jersey)

 

I think that I shall never see

A poem lovely as a tree.

 

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest

Against the sweet earth's flowing breast;

 

A tree that looks at God all day,

And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

 

A tree that may in summer wear

A nest of robins in her hair;

 

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;

Who intimately lives with rain.

 

Poems are made by fools like me,

But only God can make a tree.

This capture is relativly close from what I had the chance to see on that day. I LOVE HDR =D

This is a relatively old shot, taken in Goose Island. I love wandering around here, as it mixes up some urban grunge between some really expensive nice places. With that, I tend to feel a little safer walking through here with my camera by myself.

I love HDR, simply put. but it's a dangerous technique to enter in to, as it can so easily be overdone, overused, abused, and just plain ruin a photograph (hell, I look at shots of mine from a short while ago and am appalled at the crap i processed). but, I just love how it can transform an image to enhance contrast and details, and provide increased depth. I felt it fit well with the urban feel of this scene, so I went all out and had some fun in post here.

This is a shot from Schloss Schönbrunn. The weather even was so kind as to give us a beautiful sunset as it had been grey all day long before.

But we didn't let us get down by the bad weather. Instead we took the opportunity to visit the exhibition of some of the pictures of Andreas H. Bitesnitch - one of the most famous act photographers of the present. He is in fact from Vienna :-)
